trachae is lined by u shaped hyaline cartilages all through its length (from c6 to t4),the posterior free ends of the cartilage are bridged by the trachealis musle.

Does the human arm have cartilage?
Yes it does because when you are small you do not have many bones to support you. Cartilage are there to support spots where bones are forming. Soon at age 60 your Cartilage will get replace.
How are the bronchial tubes and the trachea similar?
The trachea contains cartilage rings and mucous glands. The bronchioles contain no cartilage and no mucous glands. Bronchioles contain Clara cells (that the trachea does not). Respiratory bronchioles contain alveoli, which are very thin-walled blind ending sacs where gas exchange occurs - these are not present in the trachea.
The support tissues in the body consist of what?
bone and cartilage
Function of cartilage rings?
To hold something permanently open (such as the trachea, which is held open for breathing by rings of cartilage).
What do the bronchioles connect?
The Bronchioles connect the brochi and the alveoli
What lacks the support of cartilage in the respiratory system?
THE BRONCHIOLES
The bronchioles lack the support of what?
Cartilage rings that are found in trachea
Do bronchioles have cartilage rings?
No, cartilage is only contained up until the bronchi. The bronchioles and onward do not contain any cartilage rings, only smooth muscle.
Which type of bronchioles don't have cartilage?
Bronchioles don't have cartilage because they need to be able to constrict and dilate
Bronchioles are kept open by?
rings of cartilage
Which has more cartilage the primary bronchi or the bronchioles?
primary
Which organ of respiratory system do not contain cartilage?
the bronchioles
The changes that occur as the bronchial tree gets smaller are what?
Support structures change: irregular plates of cartilage replace the cartilage rings, and by the time the bronchioles are reached, the tube walls no longer contain supportive cartilage. Epithelium type changes: the mucosal epithelium things as it changes from pseudostratified columnar to columnar and then to cuboidal in the terminal bronchioles. Mucus-producing cells and cilia are sparse in the bronchioles. For this reason, most airborn debris found at or below the level of the bronchioles must be removed by macrophages in the alveoli. Amount of smooth muscle increases: the relative amount of smooth muscle in the tube walls increases as the passageways become smaller. A complete layer of circular smooth muscle in the bronchioles and the lack of supporting cartilage (which would hinder construction) allows the bronchioles to provide substantial resistance to air passage.
What is the most proximal part of the air distribution system that no longer contains cartilage?
Bronchioles
What Respiratory tubes are smaller connect the bronchi to the alveolar ducts and contain no cartilage?
bronchioles
What respiratory tubes are smaller connect the bronchi to the alveolar ducts and contains no cartilage?
bronchioles
What is the diffirence of bronchi and bronchioles?
Very small bronchi are called as bronchioles. You have cartilage rings in case of the bronchi. Such rings are absent in case of the bronchiloles. You need such C shaped cartilage rings in case of bronchi, so that they should not get collapsed. The bronchioles are in periphery and they can not collapse because they are very small muscular tubes. C shaped cartilage saves lot of muscle mass of the bronchi to prevent them from collapsing.
